That a steady diet of ground-up corn CobB and sweet potato vines, ig not conducive to an ideal physical condi tion is attested by Miss Marie Uustin, graduate nurse, well known in Oregon, who is now In charge of the Taylor Memorial hospital, under the manage ment of the American i'resbyterian mission at I'aotingfu, China. In a letter written by Miss Rustin less than eight weeks ago to the mem berg . of the Sangrael Christian En deavor society of the First Presbyter ian church In Fortlaril, Miss Kustin tells of the appall1 rig conditions thrpughout North China, where 45, 000,000 men, womon and children are confronted with starva'ion and where 15,000 are dying daily. Miss Rustin has been at I'aotingfu for about three years and for many months past, like all other mission attac hes and relief workers in China, has been concentrat ing all efforts on the task of lessening the suffering of the famine victims. While I'aotingfu is on the outskirts of the great drouth-ruined famine dis trict, Just south of Pekin, Miss Rustin writes that even there all the missions and relief stations are literally swamp ed with the supplications of many thousand men, women and children who are half clad in thin rags, weak from undernourishment and struggling desperately to keep alive on roots, bark or anything that offers susten ance. The situation in the heart of the famine section, shi. says, is simply beyond the imagination. "We are doing all we can," writes Mi s Rustin, "here in our hospital try ing to build up the weakened bodies of famine sufferers who come to us in frightful condition. We are getting patl nts who have been trying to live 0 i ground-up corn cobs and sweet po tato vines. We have all been asked to give until it hurts, and now that It has grown so cold we do not dare to think of freezing, starving thousands right at our door. In going to a soup kitchen where we feed 670 people twice a day, I was surrounded so by the poor creatures that I thought they would crush the life out of me before 1 could get In and coming out it was the same way. They are so hungry and cold they are ! iperatS, Person ally I have gone without $3 worth of milk a month that I used to use, do not eat butter at all and have only eaten bread once a day for the last three months, In order to flive to the famine poor. Through this personal lacriTice I have the joy of knowing that three girls-who might have been sold have been saved from a life of shame and misery and that one man will be kept alive for five months. "A friend sent me a check the other day and I was ahle to save a girl from being sold and she will be put in school. Things are being started to help these pour souls, but there Is a long, hard pull until the harvest time. Vou can all help by giving to the China famine fund and share in the gTMl opportunities of saving life and opening the way for Christianity, for the Chinese people will surely be in terested in what we have to tell them of the gospel if we are good to them now In their great trou'de." State Manager J. J. llandsakor, In charge of the executive work for Ore gon for the combined China Near Bs t campaign, 606 Stock Exchange building, Portland, says the situation Is no less serious In the near east than In China, and liberal funds must be raised for both causes if wholesale death by starvation Is to be prevented, or even lessoned. Family of Seven Die Together. Pecause they could no longer stand the agonks of starvation, a Chinese family of st n n committed suicide. The father and mother first bound their five children together, then lashed UMSBMlTM to the children, and all leaped into a river. The seven bodies, all bound togethdTi were seen by L. V. Lewis of Portland, who recently re turned from the famine section In North China. "With tt, .000 starving, the situa tion is s colossal tragedy," said Mr. Lewis, and rather than see their chil dren suffer any longer, parents all through the famine lands are killing their little ones and then themselves. ThSfl are millions of gaunt, emaciat ed, half naked men. women and chil dren roaming the famine lands, chew tng roots and bark, and hanging tana ctoastr' to life, in the effort to pull through until spring. Tha relief or ganisations are straggling against the . rwlu lming Mtuation. and are sav ing some of those on the edge of the great famine district. Surely every man, woman and child in Oregon will u.u.t to Live something towards the China Famine Fund." -I XI Spreading over North China, with li irricano. is a horrible calamity of suffering and starvation, of pestilence and death all due to the most terrible famine the world has ever known.

Are you one of the millions who are patiently paying rents that are from 20 to 50 too high? If .you are, do you know the facts ? Do you know that Hood River is short 25 homes ; that experts estimate the United States to be four years behind in building requirements The law of supply and demand always fixes prices. So long as there is a home shortage landlords will demand high rents and tenants will be forced to pay them. The one way out is to become a home owner yourself. You can build now cheaper than at any time in the past five years, and almost as cheaply, we believe, as at any time in the next five years. Lumber and buildingjmaterials have taken a tremendous drop. The com plete cessation of building has caught manufacturers with big stocks which they have been forced to sell almost at cost. If you buy now you can take advantage of their situation. If you wait, you will buy when everyone else is buying, and you will find the increasing de mand forcing prices upward. In our opinion, right now is a good time to build. You owe it to yourself to investigate thoroughly. Call and see us, or a letter or phone call will bring us to you at once. EMRY LUMBER & FUEL CO.
